Bruce Greenwood

Dated his wife for the first time when they were both 15 (around 1971). Bruce has been married since 1985 and has known his wife since the early 1970s.
When Bruce was a child, he rarely watched television since it was rationed, and he saved up his half-hours to view ABC's Wide World of Sports (1961) on weekends. Bruce dislikes scary films and -- as a child -- was even frightened by the monkeys in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Played President John F. Kennedy in Thirteen Days (2000), and unnamed fictional Presidents in National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) and Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017).
Graduated from high school in Zurich, Switzerland, where his family lived for 13 months while his father did research. Afterwards, Bruce lived on his own, exploring the European ski circuit. He planned on becoming a professional skier until he injured his knee when he was 16. This has resulted in a total of six operations on his right knee, the last one early in 1997. Bruce always wears a brace on his right knee for skiing and other sports. He participated in celebrity ski tournaments during his two seasons with St. Elsewhere (1982).
Is an avid musician and relaxes by singing and playing his electric guitar.

[on performing in the horror movie Cell 213 (2011)]: I was only on the set for about 10 days but I was trying for some edgier stuff, some different decisions. I asked the director what this guy was about, what he does, and he said 'He smells people'. So there were scenes where I really did a lot of sniffing. I spent a lot of time breathing people in and flaring my nostrils.
[on his digitally-coded performance in Super 8 (2011)]: It's not your typical acting exercise at all, because you're really the only person in this room with all the cameras in it. It was a very weird thing to offer up all this big emotion while the rest of the people in the room are picking away at the craft services table.
[on undertaking the role of Dr. Emmett Code in The River (2012)]: I've played a lot of people who have hidden agendas or have reached bottom, who are not particularly savoury. This is a guy who believes deeply in his love for his wife, his son, and is just happy to wake up in the morning.
